if you have insights/information about accommodation with corporate interests, clean tech, (or countries acting as if they are companies, worried only about competitiveness!!) then I'd incorporate something into a blog piece on ClimateInc.org
just leaving Copenhagen myself today, there was a conference on business education and climate change (everyone is cashing in on Brand Copenhagen) cheers David David Levy Professor, Department of Management University of Massachusetts, Boston 100 Morrissey Blvd., Boston, MA 02125, USA http://www.faculty.umb.edu/david_levy/ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] on behalf of Radoslav Dimitrov Sent: Wed 11/25/2009 9:53 AM To: Global Environmental Politics Education ListServe Subject: reporting from Copenhagen Dear colleagues, You could receive inside information direct from the climate conference in Copenhagen. I was appointed on a government delegation in Copenhagen, and will be a delegate from the European Union. The red government badge gives access to closed-door UN debates where much of the action takes place. My research assistant and I are also making audio and video records of the negotiations over the year. Let's take advantage of this access collectively. I will be happy to report from the frontlines to you and your students but need your ideas about forms of communication. What particular info do you need (in addition to info from ENB, CAN, the media)? What is the best way to communicate with you from Denmark? Is email sufficient? Skype does not allow videochats with a list of people but those who are tech savvy would know alternatives. Please let me know your suggestions on how we as a community can capitalize on this opportunity to the maximum. Finally, if you need a guest lecture at your department with the inside perspective on what happened in Copenhagen, please let me know. In general, ideas of how I can liaison between you and the UN climate arena are welcome. Best, Rado Radoslav S.
